The only time i don't like being out on the bike are on days like these which are cold and wet. It is these days that i seem to pick up colds as my body does not like the cold and wet seeing as i am so skinny.
I thought today that i would ride along a stretch of the Spen Valley Greenway as it is somewhere i have never ridden and i think that on the festive 500 you should try some new things.
200yrds into the greenway and i hit a section of black ice and had my first tumble of the festive 500. Luckily i didn't do any damage to my phone or the camera but just put a hole in the arm of my rain cape (which i had managed to find for today's ride). So i decided against going any further on the bike and headed back to the main road. It was very foggy today so i had to be careful and its the first time that i have actually had to take the Oakley's of due to them steaming up.
The photos today are nothing special as it was to wet to keep stopping and there was nothing worth photographing on the ride today but i did take a picture of the black ice that brought me down.
Average heart rate 136bpm Max 176bpm
Kcal 1436
Distance 47.4km
Average Speed 22.4km/h
Ride Time 2hr 6min 38sec
Total KM to date 319.2
So as i have only tomorrow left that i can ride it is unlikely that i will complete the full 500 but my plan is to ride 4hours in the morning between 7.30am and 11.30am then work on the house and then do a ride in the evening to get me as close as i can to the 500. But i have to get myself a rear light as i do not have one as i do not ride at night normally. Roll on tomorrow.
